Well gee chief, maybe because he ALREADY SAID he hasn't watched it? Makes it pretty clear he hasn't watched it I thought.

And I might add that makes his statement that he doesn't find Offerman funny cause he's never seen him say anything funny pretty f**king stupid too, since the show he hasn't seen is pretty much where Offerman's comedic fanbase basically came from and so yeah, if you haven't seen that, you probably haven't seen him say anything funny. It's like saying you never found Moe or Curly Howard funny but you never watched the 3 Stooges. Now, you may or may not LIKE the Stooges, but without watching them, you're not gonna know how funny Moe and Curly are one way or the other.

I entered this thread never having heard of the guy and now I could care less if I ever heard from or of him.........oh yea - and then there is some broad who is part of the subject matter.....Sleepy

Well a-ron, the hostility isn't about hating the commercial, which is admittedly pretty stupid.

I think what DKS took umbrage with is the way Offerman was trashed as being totally unfunny by someone who admits he's never seen the man's work.

Well, ol'BadApple, I have to side with 3J 100% as he said basically the same thing I did. Nothing wrong at all with it, but for others to take such exception? Silly - just silly. And to them I say, "Homer Simpson is NOT a real person and there is no 'Santa Claus'..."

I believe Triple J said Comedy TV is dead, not the one specific show Offerman has been in, which he hasn't watched.  Based on the commercial originally posted in this thread, Triple J would not want to watch Parks & Rec because he doesn't find Offerman or Mullally funny.  That's how I interpreted it.

He said Offerman isn't funny. I said he was hilarious in Parks & Rec(and initially that was all I said, no hostility). He replied, specifically, that he hasn't watched the show cause he "has no interest in it". Which is totally his right. He doesn't have to watch the show, that's up to him. BUT, if you're gonna comment on someone's comedic chops or lack thereof, you should probably at least have seen some of the comedy that the person is known for, rather than watching them in a single TV ad and assuming welp, that's that, this ad wasn't funny so this guy must not be funny. I mean, likewise, if you wanna say Kelsey Grammar isn't funny, it's your call too...but if you've never seen Cheers or Frasier, and are basing your opinion on seeing his performance in Transformers 4(or whichever one he did), well...

Dude.... try to keep in mind that.... CIH is a DISCUSSION FORUM.

Get it????

The purpose is to DISCUSS COMMERCIALS.

So how about you quit crying and let people DISCUSS and/or argue about whatever they want to???

This isn't about you anyway.
